I seem to have a problem with installing Vista I think and was wondering if anyone had an insights.
The system posts and I can get into the BIOS and set boot order and make sure the CPU is at stock as well as manually setting the RAM to 1333MHz etc. That seems to be working fine although the LCD poster displays CPU_INIT most of the time (sometimes it shows the timer), so I don't know what's up with that.
I have a Blu Ray Pioneer SATA drive and Windows Vista x64 will load the files and then it stops at the collecting information screen and says "A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing, please insert the CD/DVD/Floppy or USB drive with the drivers etc."
I assume these are on the ASUS support disc or ? When I put the ASUS disc and let it rescan, it shows up nothing and when I manually browse for the files or use the IDE drive as a secondary and browse, neither of them read the disc and says Windows doesn't recognise the format. Pioneer's site only has the latest firmware and nothing else, so I'm kind of lost on what it's looking for or where to find the driver.
Second problem or maybe related to the first, I bought an IDE DVD drive to see if that works with the install. The BIOS recognises the drive (as well as the Blu Ray drive I forgot to add), but when it comes to loading the Vista files initially, the IDE drive doesn't seem to load them. I've tested the drive in another machine, so I know it's working..but it keeps saying "Please put the boot disc in and press any key etc etc". I've tested the Vista disc (the Blu Ray loads it fine) in another machine and the drive could read the files.
I've played around with a few settings in the BIOS but nothing seems to be helping. Any one have an idea on what's the problem ?
